Why this petition matters

We Call Upon the Provincial Government To Implement the Following Measures:

1. Continue collecting and reporting on COVID-19 data in all schools

  • Waiting until 30% absenteeism puts students, staff, and families at risk. We have a right to know.
  • By not providing families will all the information available, they cannot make an informed decision.

2. Provide funding and supplies of N95 or KN95 masks to all students

  • With the new variant, this mask upgrade is needed for a safe return.
    N95/KN95 masks provide the best protection against Covid-19
  • Many of the already offered masks are an improper match for students

3. Support a “Test to Return” strategy following COVID-19 illness and exposure

  • Continued access to PCR testing for schools is also necessary.

4. Fund proper emergency virtual schools

  • Currently, the only virtual learning option is the live streaming of in-person classrooms. Students deserve an equal and fair remote learning option.

5. Complete the implementation of proper air filtration systems in all Ontario classrooms

  • When all classrooms have appropriate HEPA filters, all staff and students will be safer at school, thus preventing more lockdowns & outbreaks. 
  • Progress on this has already been made & it is imperative for staff & student safety that this progress is completed.

When signing the petition, please specify (if possible) if you are a student, teacher, parent, or a "supporter" in general. Please specify your school board if possible as well!
